Anne Frank

ok, so today we went on a field trip. to start off with we went in home rooms which would've been fine except that BREANNE IS IN ARKANSAS! but i sat with karen miller and all was well. we had to ride bus 15, my normal bus. but no, we didn't get to have melody for a driver. as crazy as she is she is better that lyle burtsfield! he drove SO SLOW!!! we were WAY BEHIND the other busses!! well we got there (finally) and we had to go up up up stairs. it was dark and this was really kind of hard to do! allison and karen miller and i got to start a new row and so allison was on the end and then it was me and then karen. well the actors were the ushers and the guy on the end of our row (by allison) asked karen what the hats were for (coverings. he hadn't heard of the amish. lol! there were a TON of them there! i am SURE they were all wondering!) well, allison is scared of heights and while we were heading into the row she said ' i think i'll be ok' i hadn't thought of that fact yet but i started getting really worried. but then after we sat down she was kind of just staring out and i asked her if she was ok and she said she doesn't think so. I asked if she wanted to go ask mrs garber if she could sit down below. i didn't think she'd make it on her own so i helped her up the stairs and to mrs garber. then, i went back and sat down. All of a sudden mrs garber yelled "Kelly Miller" really loud! so i went after the voice. she asked if i would sit with allison down on the ground level. i said Sure! so the actress playing Anne Frank took us down!!! that was cool! there were three sections down there:

blue is me and the green is allison

/Anne/ said here you go! v.i.p. seating! lol! well, we were like RIGHT THERE! the people in the balcony didn't really like it but i think that if they were down by us they would've liked it a lot better. the guy who played peter was really funny. he had a bald spot. it looked really funny. mr. frank was my favorite character. mrs. vandan, mrs frank, were rather annoying. and margot was kinda too. but mr. frank was funny and the only one that really was nice to anne. margot was but not in the way anne wanted. but eventually peter wasn't as shy of her as he was to begin with so that was good. it's funny that i would pick out mr. frank. but when we watched the alamo in history class Davy Crockett was my favorite. he was HILARIOUS! the mexicans would play this song and when it was done they would start the cannons. well one time he went up to a high point in the fort and started playing fiddle. when it was done the cannons didn't happen. he said " it's amazing what a little harmony can do!" then once (he was this big deal in the mexican camp...Davy Crocketts in the alamo!!!) santa anna and another bigshot were just standing out in fron of their army looking at the fort. (santa anna didn't believe davy was as good of a shot as everyone said he was but davy didn't know this) then Davy licks his finger, test the wind, lines up his rifle and shoots that little yellow thing they wear on their shoulders with the tassles off!!! he turns around and tells Patrick that the wind changed. then he was the only one they kept hostage and they had him surrounded and there was an interpreter. he was on his knees in the middle with his hands tied. he had blood on his face. i don't want to go into every thing he said but he said "You're Santa Anna?" Santa Anna nods. "I always thought he'd be taller." the straightest face ever. then right before they kill him he says " I'm warning you, I'm a screamer."
